Red Stallion Interactive (RSI), a new world-class publisher in the Middle East region and the first client from the collaboration between DDM and Knetik, will provide a superior platform to the Arabian Gulf video game industry's growing customer base. RSI plans to offer the feature-rich gaming platform, which enables users to earn points, rewards and engage in micro transactions, throughout seventeen Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar.

"Knetik Media's advanced gaming platform provides a complete solution that includes the integration of current gaming systems, social media features and in-game billing components that all work together to provide users with the high quality gaming experience they demand," said RSI Managing Director Faisal Alireza.

"DDM is pushing the door open, allowing us to move into new markets and service a new class of opportunities around the globe as we move from servicing telecoms and operators to game developers and publishers," said Robinett.

"With their gaming platform, Knetik offers a complete turnkey solution that would ordinarily take a company well over a year to build and Knetik does it at a fraction of that cost," said Minton. "We're proud to have Knetik on board as a production services partner and excited about the opportunities this opens up for both our companies."
